Conan the Grammarian

The random word of the day is FACULTY

In the Department of English….

Conan set a test for his students writing a sentence on the chalkboard:

A WOMAN WITHOUT HER MAN IS NOTHING

He explained there were two ways to punctuate the sentence, both grammatically correct but with catastrophically different meanings.

The class was evenly split gender-wise and each student handed up their version on a piece of paper.

Conan examined them, announcing an even 50–50 split between two versions.

As the faculty head, Conan would have the deciding vote.

He walked to the chalkboard and added the punctuation.

A riot broke out.

Now it’s your turn!

A Drabble is a work of fiction that is exactly 100 words. No More. No Less.
